Barr the AG who Trump installed to get him off the hook from the Russia shit also just out of the blue ruled that Obamacare is unconstitutional..
He's not a judge he's not elected by the people but he thinks because he's the Attorney General he can do anything he wants because he knows Republicans in the Senate will ok anything as will Trump. Meaning 3 of the checks in our system are now corrupted by Republicans trying to push authoritarian rule.
We have checks and balances that's how our system works.. The WH, the Senate, the House , the judiciary branch.. each side is supposed to work independently of each other to keep things in check so no single part of the govt can overrule the people's will.
The problem is Republicans have the WH, Senate and Trump has installed lobbyist in his cabinet positions who are doing the bidding of their corporate masters.
The check to that is Congress and the judiciary branch is the check to a unhinged WH..
The problem is the Senate is now acting as the arm of the WH accepting anything the WH wants. They are no longer a check because they are pushing toward authoritarianism.
This leaves only the House as the sole check to put the entire system in balance which is something the House alone can not do.
Further more Republican stole a supreme court pick from Obama by refusing to even vote on any of Obama's picks. This was again McConnell.. So now the SC is now stacked by a party that doesn't even have a majority representation of voters in this country. This was a big deal and quite honestly it should have led to riots in the streets because this was a very big red sign of future danger, but 'the people" have become complaisant more worried about their iphones than their govt..
Again our system was built to work based on the assumption that the people would hold the leaders accountable for their actions but what Republicans did was a very slow coup of our govt starting at state level and rigging elections with illegal gerrymandering which helped them take control of states that then led to federal level control..
The problem is the people didn't pay attention because it happened over the last 20 years and now everything is happening fast because they have a president who wants to be the next Hitler..
It's a working system and probably the best democracy model in the world but the people have to pay attention and sadly we did not.
Some of us saw this coming.. I was warning of this shit since 2000 where I saw the result 1st hand of Republicans rigging state elections. It's how George Bush jr won his presidency. They rigged state elections and people like me had our votes thrown out in Florida because our state election was rigged. (go back and read the shit that happened in the 2000 FL state election that gave George Bush his presidency, go look at the vote counts between Bush & Gore and then go look at how many "provisional ballots were thrown out) It's all tight there plane as day a stolen rigged election, everyone knew it but no one would do anything about it..
I've warned about this since 2000 even on this board but people but people don't listen.. Now I'm telling you it will most likely take guns to fix this problem. The right wing will have to be removed from power by the people of this country.
People like Baddog, vendildo, grapesoada, all the fucking red hats that post here on GFY.. they are all ok with this because they know they are a minority and they are hoping like hell Republicans can seize power and overthrow our govt.. They talk the bullshit that they support this country but the reality is they are trying to destroy it. They support the destruction of our Democracy so long as they are on the winning side.
